ESPN.com's Page 2 has worked up a list of THE GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS. Thoughts?

Thanks George. I like Number 10 the best wink Bill Walton looks kind of hot in that pic...then again, I'm not thinking clear now, as I'm getting dressed for the Indians home opener: 2 pair sox, sweat pants, jeans, two sweat shirts, winter coat, gloves, scarf, stocking hat with indians cap over that, plus a blanket. LOL !!!

Nice article ... and perfect caption under the General's mug!

So Dan...what do ya think? IU '76?

I won't quibble with picking the '68 UCLA squad as # 1-they were pretty dominating and destroyed Houston and the Big E in the rematch.The UK 80's squad as #2 is a joke-they lost 2 games,and I never thought of them as invincible.

The ONLY team that was better than the '76 Hoosiers was the '75 Hoosiers,with Green and Laskowski. If May doesn't break his arm vs. Purdue,that team blitzes thru the tournament and Woodens' final game in San Diego is a double-digit loss.Over the 2 year period from 1975-76,IU lost ONE game-the '75 regional final to UK in Dayton when May couldn't play. Earlier in the regular season, with a healthy May, they beat that same Kentucky team by 30 pts,and it wasn't even that close.

So the Bruins claimed another title,and the Hoosiers missed out on immortality.With the loss of Green and Laskowski to graduation, the '76 Hoosiers were actually a weaker team,especially offensively. The '76 season opened with the delayed "rematch" with UCLA in St.Louis.With All-Americans Marques Johnson and Richard Washington the Bruins were virtually intact from their championship team.Abernathy took over Greens' starting slot and IU won by 20+ pts.The Bruins were embarrassed and promised revenge if they met again for a game that "mattered".The rematch at the Final Four was another convincing 20+ pt IU win,and I think the Bruins realized that their '75 championship was a result of one of those ironic twists of fate. Or in this case,that twist of Scott Mays' arm that occurred 2 games before the start of the '75 tourney.Without that freakish break,we could well be talking about that 2 year period as an era of total domination with the Hoosiers winning back to back undefeated championships. :cool:

Sounds good to me!

sounds GREAT to me LONG LIVE THE HOOSIERS

Gotta go w/ 1968 UCLA squad! The next 3 would be Kareem's other years! Not just because he was a LAKER!!! The Man was AWESOME!! (As Lew Alcinda & Kareem)

A minor point Lakers-Alcindor only played 3 years-freshmen weren't eligible.I'll give you his '68 squad,because of all the UCLA teams he played on,that '68 team actually faced some decent competition with Houston and the Big E.Wooden was a great coach,but the main reason he won all those championships was that there was no limits on scholarships and UCLA was able to hoard players.Imo,that made them the best among their peers,but not necessarily the best when compared with other teams who played in other eras against much tougher competition.

Tim you are correct! Still lets remember Lew Alcindas dominice! As an NCAA Champion and naturally as an NBA Champion! Plus all his records!

Good to see 2 of the top 10 go to the Tarheels. Though I dont really like the fact all they could say about the 1982 team was listing their 3 top players. Theres a little more to it than name dropping Jordan, Worthy, and Perkins. Their names didnt win the national title.

And by the way, why no mention of Jimmy V running around like an idiot when the 74 NC State team won the national title? Thats the only highlight of that game anyone can ever show.

Because he did it in '83. The '74 title team was Norm Sloan's (tacky madras sport coat & all... lol).
